Ten minutes later, Kaede Sato left quietly.
So much so that when Sakaki began to let his many trusted subordinates in the manor resume their usual work arrangements, the others in the manor knew that Kaede Sato had left.
When Kondo Makoto learned that Kaede Sato had left the manor, Kaede Sato had already left for more than half an hour. At this time, he was riding the Lightning Bird towards Jinhuang City at a speed several times faster than riding an ordinary eagle.
"It's really a difficult negotiation, but the result is good. It's good that I can drag it on like this. This way, I can have more time to develop and grow. In this world, strength speaks louder."
Kaede Sato, wearing windshield goggles, sat on the Lightning Bird and looked down at the spectacular scenery flashing by below. Then, he looked at the many flying wild sprites in front of the Lightning Bird and smiled.
What's the use of being tough? It's just a trick to scare people. These things are not worth mentioning in front of Sakaki. Only strength and value can make the Rocket Team leader, who has long been used to being strong, make some concessions.
Yes, under Kaede Sato's firm attitude, Sakaki made concessions, but at the same time, he offered more conditions.
In this negotiation, Sakaki promised that the name Zheping would be known only to him and Kaede Sato for the time being. If Kaede Sato wanted the word "forever", he must climb to the position of the Four Heavenly Kings in the alliance within ten years.
At the same time, Kaede Sato must provide information to Sakaki, and if necessary, he must personally do something for Sakaki.
Of course, Sakaki was Sakaki. He never let others work for free. He promised that as long as the information Kaede Sato provided him was valuable and he helped him complete something, he would also help Kaede Sato complete something of equal value.
At first glance, it seemed like a mutually beneficial transaction.
However, from Kaede Sato's point of view, this was Sakaki setting him up. Whether it was providing him with information or helping him do things, Sakaki was actively creating and collecting dirt on him.
As long as Kaede Sato dared to do it, he would sink deeper and deeper.
At that time, even if Kaede Sato was fully fledged and strong enough to fight against Sakaki, it would be useless. Sakaki had enough dirt on him, so he wasn't afraid of Kaede Sato, who had climbed to a high position in the Alliance, turning against him.
However, perhaps even Sakaki didn't realize that what he did was exactly what Sato wanted. These things were actually what Kaede Sato needed.
Kaede Sato wasn't afraid that he would leave any dirt on Sakaki, but he was afraid that Sakaki wouldn't give him a chance to stay in the Alliance.
It couldn't be helped. His progress was too fast, far beyond Sakaki's expectations. Vaguely, there was already a trend that he couldn't get rid of and was out of Sakaki's control.
Putting himself in Sakaki's shoes, if he were to see a chess piece that was originally just an idle move suddenly rise and was faintly out of his control, he would definitely think of a way to balance it.
Of course, in order to not damage the value of this chess piece, he would think of a plan that wouldn't damage the value of the chess piece and could effectively control the chess piece, even to the extent that the chess piece itself couldn't say anything. So what would be considered appropriate for this plan?
If Kaede Sato were Sakaki, he would definitely transfer Kaede Sato back from the Fengyuan area and continue to operate in the Kanto area, where the Rocket had the strongest control.
In this way, Kaede Sato could continue to contact his contacts in the Fengyuan area to help him rise in the Alliance, and Sakaki could always keep an eye on Kaede Sato, not letting Kaede Sato escape from his grasp.
Sakaki even used the power of the Rocket to allow Kaede Sato to quickly accumulate merits in the Kanto Alliance, and secretly gave a lot of resources to Kaede Sato, so that Kaede Sato could quickly rise in the Kanto Alliance.
It had to be said that this solution was a win-win situation for both sides. Even if Kaede Sato knew that he might not be able to leave the Rocket for the rest of his life, it was difficult for him to give up such an opportunity to rise quickly.
However, in the end, Kaede Sato chose to give up such an extremely tempting opportunity. He followed his heart and hoped to soar freely and be the master of the house.
So, he used his own value and a certain amount of strength to struggle with Sakaki, and in the end, he successfully exchanged for this opportunity from Sakaki that allowed him to make a fair deal with Sakaki as much as possible.
That's right, from the moment Sakaki agreed to Kaede Sato, the relationship between Kaede Sato and Sakaki was no longer that of a superior and subordinate. Both of them were on the same level, and it was a cooperative relationship.
Although in this cooperative relationship, Sakaki was still in a strong position, it didn't matter. Who asked Kaede Sato to be weaker than Sakaki, and he was indeed the passive and weak party.
When Kaede Sato's strength increased step by step in the future, this cooperative relationship would eventually bring both of them back to the same level.
"In a person's life, if there's no chance to rise, then it's fine. Living an ordinary life under the hands of a strong person is also a kind of happiness. But if there's a chance to rise, how can I live under someone else's roof for the rest of my life? The sky is so big, and it would be a pity not to soar freely."
Kaede Sato raised his head to look at the endless sky in front of him, and then he recalled the difficult negotiation he had with Sakaki not long ago, and couldn't help but think to himself.
When Kaede Sato rode the Lightning Bird from Changpan City to Jinhuang City, in a high-class villa in the center of Yuhong City (also known as Rainbow City), a tall man with a buzz cut and a square face slowly put down the communication device in his hand, and then his eyes lit up with a blue light.
If Kaede Sato was here, he would definitely be able to recognize who this simple and honest looking man was at first glance. This man was Sakaki Tomoaki, who had competed with him on the mysterious island more than half a year ago.
This person was related to Sakaki, and he was Sakaki's nephew. His strength was very extraordinary, and he was one of the few people on the mysterious island that Kaede Sato could not defeat.
Furthermore, more than half a year ago, he had already advanced to become a Heavenly King Stage trainer through some unknown method.
If Kaede Sato had not chosen to leave the desert ruins on the mysterious island early on, he might have died at this person's hands. Furthermore, after leaving the island, Kaede Sato had become even more hostile towards this person because he had defended Butterfly, and both sides were still enemies.
In truth, after Sakaki Tomoaki left the mysterious island, he had used his increased strength as well as his status as the strongest successor to the next leader of the Rocket Corps to secretly recruit people. Furthermore, he had the secret support of Apollo, Athena, Poseidon, and the other senior members of the Rocket Corps.
After more than half a year, Sakaki Tomoaki had become a force that could not be ignored within the Rocket Corps, and he had subtly joined forces with Apollo, Athena, Poseidon, and the other senior members of the Rocket Corps to fight against the Sakaki Division.
Currently, Sakaki Tomoaki had gained control of Yu Hong City and all the nearby secondary cities. His subordinates were strong and well-trained, and besides himself, he had five Heavenly King subordinates and two Heavenly King Vassals.
It was worth mentioning that of the five Heavenly King subordinates, four of them were young powerhouses of the Rocket Corps who had walked out from the ruins with him. They had been Sakaki Tomoaki's loyal subordinates at that time.
Although these four young powerhouses had not reached the Heavenly King Stage at that time, they had all advanced to the Heavenly King Stage after being groomed by Sakaki Tomoaki for more than half a year, becoming the core members of the Rocket Corps.
"Sir, do you have any instructions for me?"
Very quickly, a spatial ripple appeared, and a golden-haired woman with an outstanding figure suddenly appeared in front of Sakaki Tomoaki. She spoke to him respectfully.
"Mia, you're here. Let me ask you something. Do you remember Kaede Sato?"
When Sakaki Tomoaki saw the person who had come, his simple and honest face broke into a happy smile, and he used telepathy to speak to the golden-haired woman.
